Micro: Lost Post?
I seem to have lost a post the other day wherein I told ya about my pre-surgery admissions thingy at the hospital. I dunno what happened to it, but here is a Cliffs Notes repeat of same
1. They take blood and make a list of pills and stuff you are taking. They will give you a list of things to add to the list and some things to stop taking before the surgery. Pay attention, there are some things that may be good for ya the rest of the time, but not good for ya if you are trying to prevent bleeding to death or having a blood clot. Listen to the doctors. Know it all's with dubious credentials on an even more dubious website should be ignored.
2. They told me that they had no idea what the situation would be on my admission date cause things change, but currently they would admit you to the hosp unless you actually test positive for covid when you are admitted. I have a pre op covid test 01/28/2022. I will be going into a voluntary quarantine about ten days before that. I don't want to have to go thru the poking and probing all over again.
3. Get yourself a heating pad with an automatic shut off so's ya don't doze off and fry yourself. Alternating cold and heat seems to help.
4. Have the dr write prescriptions for pain killer as long as ya have to go to physical therapy. You may not need it when you are just sitting around the house watching tv and thinking about what mz micro could be fixing for your next snack, but you will need it to get thru the physical therapy or after it. My plan is to handle my own physical therapy. Mz ribit says she is just gonna drop me off at the gate to Parris Island and tell em Im back for a do-over.
5. Get yourself some good books to read. TV has always been a vast wasteland. It has become a vast and very expensive wasteland as of late. Watching Biden / Psaki / Fauci talk about that which they know very little or watching folks take shots gets old pretty soon.
6. Put new batteries in ya remote. I had to wake mz ribit up at 3am once to fetch me some batteries and her reaction was somewhat snooty.
7. My reported affair with Ms Piggy is over. She found out about Stacey and said something about Frog legs for supper. I countered with something about the proper wine to be served with fried pork skins and things just went down hill from there.
Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
